Text continues to be UTF-16 today because
* no one has written a benchmark that shows that UTF-8 would be faster *for use in Data.Text*, and * no one has written a patch that converts Text to use UTF-8 internally.
I'm quite frustrated by this whole discussion; there's lots of talking, no coding, and only a little benchmarking (of web sites, not code). This will get us nowhere.
This was my impression as well. If someone desperately wants Text to use UTF-8 internally, why not help code such a change rather than just waving the suggestion around in the air? -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic Ivan.Miljenovic@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com
